ESD occupational clog, perforated cowhide, heel strap, cork footbed, white - Vitaform 3593-10

In a warm production hall ventilation decides how the shoe feels in the eighth hour. This clog brings perforated full-grain cowhide, a natural cork footbed with a suede cover and a heel strap for the walk across the floor. The dissipative EVA outsole is tested to EN 61340-4-3 and keeps the person, shoe and floor path below 100 MOhm, as DIN EN 61340-5-1 requires.

What sets this model apart

• Dissipative EVA outsole, tested to EN 61340-4-3. On a dissipative floor the resistance of the person, shoe and floor path stays below 100 MOhm, the value DIN EN 61340-5-1 requires for an ESD workplace.
• Natural cork footbed with air cushion and suede leather cover. Within a few days the cork takes the shape of the foot and supports the arch, the suede cover absorbs moisture instead of leaving it under the sole.
• Two pin buckles, each adjustable on its own. The base width is normal, the buckles take up a high instep as readily as a flat foot.
• Heel strap. Folded forward the shoe slips on and off at a fixed workstation, folded back it sits firmly enough for stairs, ladders and brisk walking across the shop floor.
• Perforated upper leather. The punched pattern lets air reach the foot, which tells in warm production halls and on shifts beyond eight hours.
• The upper is full-grain cowhide, not split leather and not a coated substitute. It wipes clean, moves with the foot and keeps its shape for years with basic care.

Technical data

Applications

Placement and test work in electronics manufacturing, laboratory and medical technology, packing and order picking in the ESD area, gowning zones ahead of the clean room. A light upper suits areas with a light dress code and shows soiling early, which is wanted where cleanliness is monitored.

Not suitable for workplaces with impact, crushing or penetration hazards. There the risk assessment calls for a safety shoe to EN ISO 20345.

Standards and conformity

The ESD property is tested to EN 61340-4-3, the test method for the electrical resistance of footwear. As a shoe the model is certified to DIN EN ISO 20347, that is as occupational footwear without a protective toe cap. It carries no safety class from S1 to S3. Dissipation works only together with a dissipative floor, which is why DIN EN 61340-5-1 requires shoe and floor to be checked at regular intervals in service. The manufacturer is Vitaform in Laichingen, Germany.
